I beweed in a thing called glove

Happy Golden Run Anniversary, Wandsworth! Over the past year we have run together to make the borough 50 times better, which is pretty amazing. It is a nice little warm up for next week when we will be celebrating our very first birthday. Join us for a special celebratory run, some fun little surprises, and a picnic after the run. So grab your party hat and sign up here.

So many congratulations this week - you've been busy, team. First a huge well done to the lovely Sophie who has motored through the good deeds, and shares her 50th good deed with Wandsworth's 50th run. That is some very pleasing symmetry. Way to go, Sophie!

Another huge well done to Sally who had a cracking run at the Richmond Half on Sunday (and still turned up to run on Monday!) and came in as 5th woman in a huge field. Wow.

During our warm up session outside we asked which one food we would choose to eat for the rest of our lives. I suspect some of you would last longer than others, with answers ranging from cheese to malteasers. Peanut butter came in as one of the top answers, plus various forms of curry. This picnic next week is shaping up to be a belter.

We only had a short run to our task tonight, so we set off at a nice lick and arrived at the Omnibus theatre. This lovely place receives absolutely no guaranteed funding or statutory support, and box office proceeds only cover a fraction of its income. They rely on donations and volunteers to keep the doors open and to provide creative opportunities for the whole community, so we're always happy to lend a hand.

Tonight's job was to clear a newly acquired section of land at the back of the building which was very overgrown. It has a lovely apple tree right in the centre and the aim is to turn it into a garden plot where botanical gin will be grown to sell at the Omnibus bar. Gang, I think it's only right we come back and check out the finished product after our efforts. Who's in?

Annoyingly, someone (cough, me) forgot to take a before shot, so there's no photographic evidence of our work. Shame, because as Ben said, 'this is probably the best example of swarm of locust efficiency'. Still, we got a nice after shot - check out the pics attached.

Job done, we took ourselves off to the common to do a fitness session which involved dividing up into teams of five. There was a bag of exercises to complete, and whoever had collected the most slips of paper at the end won. How one team, who shall remain nameless, got three freebie passes, is unclear, but the ultimate winners came in with a massive 11 sets of exercises complete. As a reward they got to choose a game. They selected, um, a core blast.

After a series of exercises that strengthened our abs, we set off back to the BAC, with Jo, Luke and Matthew making a dash for the end. All that was left to do to mark the end of our 50th run was a few stretches and a drink at the bar to celebrate Sophie's landmark good deed.

Have a great week, Wandsworth, and see you next week for our birthday party!
